Hi! There are some files in /etc which are actually data files representing the state of the system. Like /etc/mtab, /etc/network/ifstate, or /etc/lvmconf/* (it is not even a text file). These files are written by programs in occasions one cannot with good heart call configuration. Isn't it against the policy?
There are practical reasons behind my question: -if one uses a configuration management tool (like tla) to track changes in the configuration, one will stumble upon them sooner or later. -if one wants to make the boot process unable to modify configuration, they will also be stumbled upon. (And given the fact that mount actually deletes and recreates /etc/mtab, the challenge is... challenging.) -- GNU GPL: csak tiszta forrásból -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
